We show that of all the optically active Er centers in silicon found after ion implantation and optimum annealing (900°C) the isolated cubic interstitial Er is the dominant PL center above 100 K. At lower anneal temperatures ( ≈ 600°C) with later rapid thermal anneal at 900°C oxygen related centers also emit.
